More of a WWYD really, My strange family and the fact that they all cant stand my ds.

[meatntattypie]

So my dsis & her 7 year old dd live with my mum.
I have another dsis who has an 8 year old.
my ds is 6.
They make no bones about the fact that they dislike him and think there is something wrong with him....there isnt they are just completely intolerant.

SO i dont ever take him to my mothers or to my sisters house...EVER.

They never ask about him, have no interest in him and thats the way it has always been,

yes i was upset about it, yes we have all had words about it but the problem is both me & ds adore my niece & nephew.
So tonight we were invited to my neices birthday party.
There were other kids there,and i had hoped that they would be more tolerant of ds nowadays but he couldnt do anything right.
so we stayed for an hour, it was all my nerves could take, made my excuses and left.

wwyd?
I just keep him away from them all but he does miss out.

I wonder if you live locally enough to have them at the weekends and them drop them off at school on the Monday so any excitement has worn off by the time they go home? Your sisters sound awful. I find loud boisterous children hard work but they are in a league of their own.

You poor thing, and poor DS as well ! Keep him well away from them, no point putting him through it. He sounds pretty normal to me, an active, energetic child who needs lots of physical activity in a day. Just because their DC are not physically active in the same way does not make your DS odd!

At least his cousins appreciate him, perhaps they will maintain their own opinion about him and realise what nobs their parents and grandparents are being.

Sympathies Dellie, i thought i was the only one with freaks around me!

I would feel that they were making me choose. And my loyalty would be to my son, so I would cut contact with them.

there is no way I would allow my child to see that 'family' members who didn't like him were still being visited by me. How is a child to interpret that?

So I'm afraid I would have nothing further to do with any of them. Me and my child as a package or fuck the fuck off.
